This choice: Getting to see Claire on the clock up-close and personal • Go Back... As Holly chatted away with Susan, Carmen is teasing Vincent asking him if he would like a closer look at Nicky as she pulls forward her flimsy tied blouse showing off her son-bra and the rush Dorothy makes upstairs to get ready for work with Harry presumably on her person, it all puts a smile on Abby's face but her eyes were on the eldest of her children. Claire was about to head out when Abby caught up with her, her usually calm nearly blank eyes widening at this.
“Mom, what's wrong?”
She asks as her mother joining at the back door who just caught her before leaving, if one did not know her too well they would be fair to assume it sounds like she does not care one way or the other but as her mother Abby can hear the worry in her and smiled gently to ease it.
“Nothing is wrong dear it just feels like lately you have been so busy and we never are around each other much.”
Abby confesses and sees Claire's cold eyes soften as she thinks for a moment before responding, Abby is beyond proud of her successful super cool CTC Enforcer daughter, out there making the world a better place. But she does worry that she puts the needs of others before her own, it's no secret why she decided to work for the CTC, Harold's disappearance made Claire want to help make a world where no tiny can go missing and fall through the gaps.
“Well work has been hectic lately with the temp-license and protests and the escapees.”
She sighs sharing her woes just a little with her mom but from her stern stoic look it did not lighten the load all too much.
“But mom what do you mean you wanna join me, this is not a field trip you know it’s work.”
She said more harsh then intended and the way her light scolding made Abby's shoulders slump down it looked like she is the mother here, luckily for Abby a good friend was hearing all this and decided to chime in with help.
“Hey now Claire-Bear, that's no way to talk to your mama.”
Carmen says playfully hugging Abby for support she felt the pillowy soft plush push of Carmen's chest press into her back...oh and Nicky too she supposed. It was then that Claire noticed all the eyes in the room were on her and a rare occurrence happened where her face turned red from embarrassment.
“A-all I am doing is speaking the truth you know, it’s work and important work. I can't just have any person come with me.”
Claire argues feeling mad that she somehow is made out to be the bad guy here, she is an Enforcer of the CTC, she helps tinies all around this area find their purpose and proper protection. She is one of the good guys!
Carmen just clicks her tongue at her and continues.
“Well for one this woman here is not just any person she is your mother and two don’t you CTC Enforcers have ride along things?”
Carmen asked knowing the answer, Claire's eyes widened knowing she was backed into a corner.
“...we do but that’s mostly for reporters, would-be employees or writers.”
She mumbles still trying to put up a front. She is right a "ride-along" is when someone shadows a Enforcer to see what a day in their life is like, mostly reporters looking to praise the work of the CTC, employees looking to be enforcers and strangely enough writers looking for inspiration.
“Ah come on Claire are you saying the top Enforcer around cant convince her bosses to let her mother tag along for one day?”
Susan chimes in and with both of her “Aunts” on the attack Claire knows she needs to give in, but Abby unknowingly strikes a devastating overkill blow herself.
“Ahh Claire if I would be a bother and get in your way it’s fine..”
She tells her daughter hurt and wounded, she did not see the look her other children gave to the oldest sibling but it was beyond the final push she needed. With a groan and sigh Claire gives in fully.
“Mom, why don’t you join me to work today.”
She offers and with a hop and a skip (a movement that strained more on her body these days then she would care to admit) Abby walked out with Claire. Looking back she knew Harry and Dorothy would be good and it looked like Vince and Holly were gonna help Susan and Carmen open the Shack….well Vince was being carried along by Carmen at least, he kicked and flailed in her grip though.
“Ahh how cute.”
She thought before heading out and joining Claire in her black and red two seater cruiser. She let out an approving whistle, the CTC might not be as big as it once was but it looks like they still pay their Enforcers well.
Abby felt slightly self conscious as she enters Claire’s nice and expensive car, her body weight makes the vehicle dip a bit. But the moment passes and soon enough her daughter speeds out of the driveway and heads to the free way.
Abby tries not to be obvious as she watches her daughter drive, cool and confident as always. Claire was wearing black shades to shield her cool eyes from the summer sun. Abby was so proud of her daughter and wished that her career choice did not make such a rift between her and Vince. Vince of-course hated what she does and feels like she is enslaving his people as he puts it. He even begged Abby not to let her chip him but what was she to do, he kept going missing when he angered all these giantess's with his hot temper. Abby was sick of calling Claire in the dead of night weeping to look for him when he did not show up home, and for her credit she always did. Claire was able to retrace her brother's steps and find who ever took him or where he was stuck to like gum. When she offered to chip him Abby agreed needing the assurance, after Harold she couldn't lose her baby.
“So what’s on the agenda today sweetheart?”
Abby asks and Claire simply looks back at her, mayhaps pondering if she made the right call letting her mom join her before replying.
“Well who’s to say, we have a lot of runaways these days with that tiny foundation muddling people's minds, now all these poor tiny folk are running from their licensed owners, thinking they have better options or like Vince can take care of themselves.”
Claire says sighing, she hates that FTTF place with a passion, she thinks they are deluding the tiny folk all around and putting them in danger. While Abby is less passionate than her daughter Claire is the professional so she trusts her judgment here.
“We can get your basic call in’s from owners, you know a licensed tiny is either missing or misbehaving or worst off on the run and stolen.”
Claire says this with a dark icy tone and Abby knows why, Harold being lost at sea make's Claire unsympathetic to anyone stealing tinies or not being what the CTC considers a proper owner. It's why she gives Dorothy so many long looks making sure the poor plump goth is taking care of Harry.
Abby simply nods her head agreeing with Claire for the most part, the mother apricates what the CTC does like most people in this area of California but still she does not feel everyone needs a licensee. It's why she never pushed it with Vince and also why she approved that Harry and Dorothy are more then likely get one soon. Abby will love and support either decision her sons make.
“My boss also keeps telling me about some big new project that she wants to unveil to me.”
She groans, Claire likes being out of the office and working the beat and Call ins, to her it feels like she is making more of a difference. Plus her boss keeps bugging her about some new project involving a brand new state of the art drug, the whole thing sounded off and weird to her. She was not sure if she was comfortable drugging tinies...but if it made people like her brother Vince stay out of trouble...
Well as she drives along the highway how will this mother daughter duo help better the tiny people of their town?
1. Joining Claire out in the car as she responds to call ins for missing licensed tinies, she will track them down with the GPS system. These are more like manhunts and rescues, a tiny squashed by someone on the sidewalk and separated from their owner or left in the changing room as a thong when their owner was trying on new clothes.
2. Claire has a few license breakers that she needs to respond to, if worse comes to worse she will need to claim these tinies and bring them back to the CTC for holding. These are more frustrating it's either a owner who has suddenly decided they don't want to fulfill their end of the license and have stopped wearing or using their tiny as they are suppose to. They can try and change their signed contract in court but Claire will need to confiscate their tiny and make sure they are getting the attention and care they need. Claire has little patience for these people, she feels they are neglecting their loved ones.
3. Claire needs to head to the office, her boss has a special assignment for her and Abby will come along. Don’t embarrass her too much!  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
